| I can't apologize for nothing I did to get me here |
| I can't apologize for spending my whole life in your ear |
| I won't apologize for pimps, and hoes, and cocaine, and weed |
| Cause everything I just said was on the streets before me |
| I was born in it, walked in it to make it to school |
| Talked shit with it and made niggas thank it was cool |
| Ride Benz wit it, couple years I-10 wit it |
| Lost friends in it, people I will never see again in it |
| And people ask me how you still got love for it? |
| For real sometimes I hate it I just never show it |
| Privacy dies, and lies grow and thrive |
| I smile pimpin cause I'm just happy to be alive |
|
| 8Ball and MJG we still will remain |
| When the rest is actin strange |
| We still will remain |
| When the names all change |
| When they rearrange the game |
| When they don't do it the same |
| We still will remain |
|
| Through the hate and the lies, from the bad to the good |
| The suburbs to the hood |
| Knock, knock, knock on wood |
| Do it all I stood and I faced it like a champion |
| When it rained on everything I thought needed |
|
| Watched the full rise and demise of a whole era |
| Did I ever fold or let go no never |
| I been through shit in life that required real man muscle |
| And what I'm doin now requires real grand hustle |
| Now I ain't tryin to say I did it all right |
| Several times in life I skated on thin ice |
| But Still in cold weather I'm so hot man |
| Pimp Tight MJ like a robot man |
|
| I won't walk around everyday living in fear |
| Visine for my eyes so I can see shit clear |
| Words kill uncut straight to your vein |
| Words live locked down tryna get out of my brain |
| Thank god wit it, like we did from the start wit it |
| Space age pimpin nigga, grand hustle hard wit it |
|
| We did our part wit it |
| And even though we was young and havin fun we still cam out hard wit it |
| This song is motivation wrote to keep you motivated |
| I will no longer brush you off because I know you've waited |
| It's been a long road traveled but the trip was worth it |
| Kept me thankful and kept me grounded on the surface |
|
